Featuring four brainteaser games to challenge your child's memory, speed, and logic, Hasbro's Simon Flash is a high-tech twist on the legendary Simon game. Four electronic cubes utilize light, sound, and changing colors to keep your child having fun and learning new skills during each game. Revolutionary Wonder-Link technology allows each cube to know where you've placed it, when you win a round, and keeps track of the score.

Four Games in One

Ranging from 90 seconds to more than two minutes, Simon Flash contains four quick-fire games in one package: Simon Lights Off, Simon Shuffle, Simon Secret Color, and Simon Classic. Each game is associated with a colored cube (red, yellow, blue, or green) and can be started by pressing the cube that bears that color. Each game stimulates learning through challenging the player's memory, speed, and logic.

With Simon Shuffle, you solve each puzzle by lining up the colors in the original order displayed. In Simon Lights Off, you have to solve each puzzle by lining up the cubes in the correct order so that all the lights turn off. In Simon Secret Color, you solve the puzzle by figuring out the order to place the cubes in. As you get them in the right place, each cube turns to show the same color. The fourth game, Simon Classic, is the classic Simon game where you correctly repeat an increasing sequence of colors.

Carrying Case, Easy On/Off and Mute Options

The cubes come with a portable carrying case for on-the-go play, ideal for a car trip with the family. A quick-play card lets you begin any game with minimal instruction. Easily mute sound, turn off cubes, or switch to a different game with the press of a button. For added convenience, the cubes automatically power down after three minutes of nonuse to save battery life.

While Simon Flash is recommended for children eight and older, our testers found that some games are appropriate for younger children, and that some games were more challenging than others. In addition, the scoring system, comprised of cubes flashing multiple times to indicate points won, can be confusing.

Note: although the game indicates it can be played competitively with others, most games cannot be played simultaneously by two players. Competition between players requires each player to take a turn and then compare scores.

Simon Flash is a game that will give your memory quite a workout. It's like the original Simon game from days of old, but it includes additional versions of play. Of course, it takes a while to get the hang of each version, but once you do the action is quite fast. This is perfect from eight to adult. It does, however, require a lot of batteries to work, which could become a concern if it is used frequently. Otherwise, this game is lots of fun and worth purchasing. Because of it's small size, it would be perfect for travel.

I bought this because I like gadgets and I like the original Simon game. There is some fascinating technology in this game that makes it fun for awhile, but the games are too easy. It is a pretty amazing thing that the 4 cubes can communicate.

The novelty wears off pretty fast though, because the games are not really challenging. There are no difficulty levels to choose from and the difficulty does not change as time goes on, during a game.

Another con is the fact that the game requires 8 AAA batteries. It comes with batteries, but if you end up playing the game a lot, you will be swapping batteries often.

In conclusion, this game is pretty fascinating at first, but loses appeal fast. A young kid may have a lot of fun with it, but older kids and adults will get bored, because it's generally too easy. Get a real Simon with adjustable difficulty levels and a faster pace as the game goes on. This game would be a good value at $10, but not $20.

This was a Christmas gift for my 9 yr old, recommended by our developmental pedi for increasing memory/paying attention(he was a preemie and struggles with the typical preemie issues).

He loves it and once he figured it out, played for days. I saw the improvements almost immediately, he went from being able to remember the sequence with 3-4 lights to remembering it with 12-14 lights(far beyond my personal capability) in a matter of 2days.

This is a great tool for helping kids with attention issues while being a fun interactive toy!!(my son's issue is more of a need to slow down...he often will listen to the first "instruction" and then want to figure out the rest without waiting to hear the next steps-no ADD or ADHD, however we were told it is great for that as well.)

I bought one of these for my 8-year-old nephew for Christmas. He complained that evening that he couldn't make it work, so I set about to show him. After 30 minutes, I didn't get any farther than him. The instructions are simple, clear, and utterly fail to work. I'm a veteran programmer—it's not like Simon is over my head. It simply doesn't work. Based on other ratings, clearly this cannot be true for everybody, so I conclude that they have a certain failure rate, and I got caught by that.

Back in the 80's, or was it the 70's? I can't remember, but I had the original, round Simon game that my sister, brother, and I had hours of fun with. In my opinion, this Simon Flash is even more fun than the original, more compact for storage, offers more game choices, and was certainly a great price! Our whole family loves it!

This is the worst toy I have ever bought. The tiles did not work correctly and the object of the game is beyond me. Gave it to my granddaughter and we threw it out 2 days after Christmas last year. It was very pricey for what it was.
